I’ve got a couple of commissions on at the moment but I found time to finish off my third page of SF Rat-Men ideas, specifically the bloated leader and a SF version of a Grey Seer. <\/p>\n

Continuing the theme of a space hulk with warp-mutated rats on board: (See posts http:\/\/www.willbeck.com\/artblog?p=1597<\/a> and http:\/\/www.willbeck.com\/artblog?p=1111<\/a>) The largest mutant rat-man has taken hydraulic shears and attached them to his deformed arm to make a crude combat weapon. <\/p>\n

The Rat-man psyker inhales warp-tainted fuel pods (from areas of the space hulk exposed to the warp) to enhance his psychic powers (similar to how Skaven Grey Seers eat warpstone).<\/p>\n

The ‘warp-rats’ are rats that have been fed the warp-tainted fuel and are herded into battle causing localised distortions in reality.<\/p>\n

GW are souping up the Skaven for the End Times business the new Boneripper and especially the Stormfiends are quite futuristic looking. <\/p>\n

The ‘Stormfiends’ appear to have little large-brained rats attached to their backs – I think someone at GW had been playing Planescape:Torment with its Cranium Rats and their Wererat servants – here’s a link if you’re interested: http:\/\/www.sorcerers.net\/Games\/Torment\/Walkthrough\/act3-underground\/underground-warrens-of-thought.php<\/a>).<\/p>\n
